ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE:FUL) today reported financial results for the third quarter that ended August 27, 2016.
Items of Note for the Third Quarter of 2016:
- Volume growth was 12 percent in the Engineering Adhesives segment, above 10 percent in the Asia Pacific segment and positive in our EIMEA segment. Volume was flat in Americas Adhesives year-over-year, reflecting expected sequential improvement;
- Gross profit margin was 28.5 percent, an improvement of 50 basis points versus the prior year’s third quarter, reflecting effective management of pricing and raw material costs;
- Net income was $32.7 million; adjusted net income was $33.1 million, or $0.641 per diluted share, an increase of 5 percent versus the prior year;
- Adjusted EBITDA margin2 was 13.4 percent; EIMEA segment adjusted EBITDA2 margin was 10.4 percent in the quarter, up over 200 basis points from the prior year;
- Cash flow from operating activities of $63 million, driven by solid net income performance; on track to deliver over $200 million in cash flow from operations for the 2016 fiscal year.
Third Quarter 2016 Results:
Net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $32.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, versus net income of $26.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in last year’s third quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2016 were $0.641, up 5 percent versus the prior year’s adjusted result of $0.611. Adjusted EBITDA2 was $68.7 million in the third quarter, or 13.4 percent of net revenue.
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $512.9 million, down 2.2 percent versus the third quarter of 2015. Higher volume/mix positively impacted net revenue growth by 0.9 percentage points. Lower average selling prices and negative foreign currency translation negatively impacted net revenue growth by 2.1 and 1.0 percentage points, respectively.
During the quarter we maintained margins through effective management of pricing and raw material costs. Gross profit margin increased 50 basis points versus the prior year. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was down by approximately 0.6 percent versus last year, primarily due to well controlled discretionary expenses, the favorable impact of exchange and lower variable compensation, offset by selective investments for growth.
”We continued to deliver improving financial results in-line with our long term goals,” said Jim Owens, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. “Volume growth remained robust in both the Asia Pacific and Engineering Adhesives segments and we delivered the volume improvements we committed to in the Americas Adhesive segment, reflecting continued sequential improvements. Our cash flow was strong, we began the integration of Cyberbond, an important strategic acquisition, and managed earnings in-line with our strategic commitments with EPS up 14 percent year-to-date and EBITDA margin up 90 basis points for the first nine months of the year. We are confident that we will continue to drive our business performance toward the long-term goals committed to in our 2020 strategic plan.”
Year-To-Date Results:
Net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $85.0 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, versus income from continuing operations of $63.3 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2015. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of 2016 were $1.741, up 14 percent versus the prior year’s result of $1.531. Foreign currency losses were unusually high in the first nine months of this year, reducing adjusted EPS by about $0.10 per share relative to the same period last year.
Net revenue for the first nine months of 2016 was $1,519.7 million, down 1.0 percent versus the first nine months of 2015. Higher volume/mix positively impacted net revenue growth by 2.5 percentage points. Lower average selling prices and negative foreign currency translation negatively impacted net revenue growth by 1.3 and 2.2 percentage points, respectively. Constant currency revenue3 grew by 1.2 percent year-over-year.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the third quarter of 2016, we had cash totaling $133 million and total debt of $712 million. This compares to second quarter 2016 cash and debt levels of $146 million and $722 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was essentially unchanged. Cash flow from operations was positive $63 million in the third quarter. The strong cash flow result allowed us to fund the acquisition of Cyberbond and maintain our leverage of 2.6 times debt to EBITDA. Capital expenditures were $14 million in the third quarter.
Fiscal 2016 Outlook:
We are narrowing our adjusted EPS guidance range to $2.45 to $2.50 for the 2016 year1. Our previous guidance for 2016 adjusted EPS was $2.45 to $2.60 per share. Currency had a negative $0.05 impact versus previous guidance. Constant currency growth is expected to be around 2 to 3 percent for 2016 versus the 2015 fiscal year. We now expect to generate approximately $280 million of EBITDA in 2016, reflecting a full-year EBITDA margin of approximately 13.5 percent. Our core tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, is expected to be about 31.5 percent. We are on track to invest approximately $60 million in capital items in 2016.

______________________________________
1 Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the following non-recurring costs listed on the adjusted earnings per share reconciliation table above: special charges related to the “business integration”; restructuring in EIMEA related to operational efficiency improvement projects; and the start-up of a new electronics facility in Yantai China. We have not included a reconciliation of adjusted EPS to EPS as part of our guidance because the adjustments, if any, are not known at this time.
2 EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on a consolidated basis as gross profit, less SG&A expense, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes items listed on the adjusted earnings per share reconciliation table above. On a segment basis it is defined as operating income, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
3 Constant currency revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as changes in revenue due to price, volume and mix and excludes revenue changes driven by foreign currency translation. The schedule above reconciles each component of net revenue growth.
4 Segment operating income is defined as gross profit less SG&A expense. Segment operating margin is defined as segment operating income divided by net revenue.
